Slave I review!

The Rise of Boba Fett Ultimate Battle Packs. $109.99. Five figures: Anakin, Mace, R8-B7, Boba, and Bossk. Last three are exclusive to this set. Two starships: Mace's Jedi Starfighter and the motherfucking Slave 1! I don't give a crap about the starfighter or the figures. I dislike the Clone Wars style figures. The droid is pretty nice though. It has a ton of gimmicks.


Slave 1. I've been waiting for a re-release of this vehicle for many years. This is, however, a great improvement over the Kenner version. It doesn't have the colors of the Empire Strikes Back ship, but it will do. Plus, this thing is huge! Look at Boba standing next to it!


First, let's look at the cockpit. Now the front seat here is designed for the young Boba Fett figure in this pack. There were no instructions on this, but you are able to take the "seats" out and use the rear ones in the front.




Now this is ready for the real Boba Fett to pilot. (Or whatever full size 3.75 figure you choose.)



So this Slave 1 has a compartment that opens up here and you can pose figures in a variety of positions. They put a couple of foot pegs to stick figures on. You can also see the holding cell from here.


There is a neat little ramp you can pull out.


Here the holding compartment is pulled down and the holding cell is out. It may not be able to hold a carbonite Han, but it's still an awesome little thing.


On the back/bottom of the ship there are two ship bombs. Another nice little addition. Also worth noting, the little canons on the bottom/back can shoot projectiles.

Now, there is one little flaw that I really can't overlook. The cockpit opening does not snap shut very well. So the cockpit will fall open when in use.

This is still by far the greatest Slave 1 release so far. If another Slave 1 with ESB colors is released, I unfortunately will still get it.
